EXPRESS SPORT brings you all the latest transfer news from Old Trafford.
Harry Kane Player Profile
Contact has been made with Tottenham over the transfer of Harry Kane, according to The Sun.
United are prepared to pay around £40million for the 21-year-old striker but Spurs are desperate to keep him and could make him captain to fend off any interest.
Kane is seen as a long-term replacement for Wayne Rooney, 30, as Louis van Gaal wants an Englishman to lead the line at Old Trafford.
The Dutchman faces a battle with Arsenal over another top target.
The Sunday Times claim Southampton's Morgan Schneiderlin would prefer a move to North London despite United's interest.
The Red Devils launched a £20million bid that was rejected but they are expected to return with an offer closer to the south coast club's valuation of £25m.
Harry Kane is being targeted by Manchester United
United's back line could also be strengthened as Torino right-back Matteo Darmian has emerged as a target, according to The Metro.
The Italy international could be available for £14m and United appear to be in pole position.
Napoli were linked with the 25-year-old but believe the fee to be too much and have turned their attention elsewhere.
